Measurement of inclusive jet production and nuclear modifications in pPb collisions at

2016 
Inclusive jet production in pPb collisions at a nucleon–nucleon (NN) center-of-mass energy of is studied with the CMS detector at the LHC. A data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 30.1 nb is analyzed. The jet transverse momentum spectra are studied in seven pseudorapidity intervals covering the range in the NN center-of-mass frame. The jet production yields at forward and backward pseudorapidity are compared and no significant asymmetry about is observed in the measured kinematic range. The measurements in the pPb system are compared to reference jet spectra obtained by extrapolation from previous measurements in pp collisions at . In all pseudorapidity ranges, nuclear modifications in inclusive jet production are found to be small, as predicted by next-to-leading order perturbative QCD calculations that incorporate nuclear effects in the parton distribution functions.
